I’m a welder/fabricator and welding inspector by trade. For years I’ve worn the same style and cut of denim jeans for work. They get the job done but they’re not functional. Denim is rigid and binds where I need flexibility, pockets fray where I carry my pocket knife and flashlight (both have pocket clips), and after a few times wearing them they’re stained and no longer look clean even when they are. I decided to try out the Martin Pants from Brunt because I got a pair of their Marin work boots a few months ago and the boots were amazing. I figured if the boots were this good, the pants were worth the investment. I bought 2 pair of Martin work pants and it came with a pocket knife. The paints were a perfect fit right out of the bag (I always have to try on pants before buying because they never seem to fit comfortably). I really like the reinforced thigh area as well as the reinforced pocket for clip items like my knife and flashlight. Both pockets have the reinforcement so it doesn’t matter if you carry something in the left pocket, right pocket, or both. Plus it has another functional pocket to hold my phone without taking up the entire front pocket like my old work jeans did. The pants are super comfortable and flex in all the right places. I like the fact that they are 70% cotton since I work around heat and sparks all day. Overall I’m really impressed with the quality of these work pants. And the pocket knife was a nice bonus with the purchase. It’s super sharp.
